Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
On cotton contracts August has broken down
to-day under desire to unload the remaining
long interest, rates going off some IA points.
On other months the tone was unsettled the
early portion of tue day, taking downward
course under disappointment in regard to for
eign advices, but after weak holders sold out
the feeling strengthened again and 5 points re-
covery followed. assisted by sprinkling of out
side demand from the East and South. There
was also repetition of untavorabe crop ad
vices, but nothing really new, and before the
close rates had eased off again and finally were
only couple of points above last evening"
